III. Grss summer schOOl
The very last Newsletter has an in-depth article by
Antonio Plaza on the very successful, inaugural Summer
School held in Munich. I will report back with the organizers of the Summer School to be run before the Melbourne
IGARSS 2014. Our society has a large pool of very talented
teachers, so it is well within our capabilities to provide
material on almost any topic. This is where you come in:
please contact me an put forward your ideas for topics that
are not being covered, material you might like to teach,
and so on.
The GRSS Summer School needs a name. Something
like "GR4S". We are keen to associate it with the GRSS.
Come up with a good idea, and we will reward you with
a small prize. I will take suggestions until the 30th
June, 2013.
Iv. Grss summer schOOl 2013 melbOurne
The Summer School Team in Melbourne have put together
an excellent programme, modelled closely on the successful Munich event. The key members of the team are Kim
Lowell and Xiuping Jia, who have provided the information
for this section of the Education Corner.

What
The IGARSS 2013 Summer School (actually a
Winter School since it is being held in the Australian winter) is a pre-conference event that
provides an outstanding opportunity to obtain a
broad knowledge of the fundamentals of a range
of image data and analysis from leading Australian and international authorities, and to meet
other attendees before the conference begins.

I would like to establish a forum for members to present the
Geoscience and Remote Sensing training programmes that
they offer at their institution. There is a publication space limitation, but I would like to make these quite comprehensive.
